I hope you're right but I think this was another Oliver Hanlan or Nigel Williams Goss swing and a miss by the front office.

I was looking at Bradley's GLeague stats. No 3 point shots and shooting sub 50% from the foul line. Willie Reed kicked sand in Bradley's face.Those were second round picks. It's another Bradley if anything.

Basketball IQ, decent handles, the ability to get into the paint, shooting(college), athleticism.What nba skill or skills does Allen possess?

He was the 21st pick. The chances of him becoming a major piece are extremely slim. The chances of him improving and becoming a role bench player are semi high People need the have a little patience. Put him on a team that can afford him to struggle and I bet he has a much better season.
People must be too young to remember how Sloan handled rookies.
The reasonable comparison for this guy would be Trey Lyles. A theoretically good player who does not do one thing at NBA level.He wasn't good at duke. He's undersized, and he's never consistently displayed in game athleticism. Was a always an inconsistent shooter. Because of these things, he came in with the deck stacked against him. The jazz basically drafted tony Bradley two years in a row. If he ever becomes a rotation player in the league, it will be a surprise.

Not conflicting at all. Utah can't afford to let him play through rookie mistakes while other teams could. With more playing time comes more development. If he played for Phoenix they would have nothing to lose by playing him. He would get more minutes and in return learn small nuances of the NBA game that he's not afforded to do with our playoff roster.So you’re using Sloan’s handling of rookies as reason to have patience with Allen or attack Sloan for neglecting to use correctly rookies? Please clarify.
Who claimed disappointment in him not being a “major piece?”
You seem to have some conflicting arguments here. On one had you claim he’s the 21st pick and expectations should be kept low yet claim if he were given more time/play for a bad team that he’d have a bigger role and theoretically be better.
Hayward dropped 34 on Kobe his rookie year. We'd be lucky to see Allen crack 14 pt one day.I tend to agree but Hayward sucked as a rookie too.
Then why not draft Landry Shamet, who shoots well over 40% 2 times out of 3 in college while Allen only did so 1 time out of 4? Let's not ignore the big difference in their TS% too.He can shoot the 3.

As for Sloan, a little but of both. I think some players should have played more but at the same time he had good reason not to play certain guys.
Deron.What rookies under Sloan should’ve played more?
